Subscriptions without the transaction fees.

Free shipping, as a reason to subscribe.

Turn on free shipping for any plan. The cheapest rate becomes free at checkout, and every renewal ships free after that, with no discount codes to manage.

• Set it per plan, so you can offer it on monthly plans only
• Customers can still pay to upgrade to express
• Choose whether a mixed cart needs every item to qualify, or just one

A subscription portal inside Shopify customer accounts.

Customers manage their subscription where they already check their orders, without emailing you. Each change takes a couple of taps, and every one of them is an alternative to cancelling.

• Skip an order, pick a new date or order now
• Swap to another variant or product, keeping the subscriber price
• Change how often it arrives, the quantity or the address
• Pause for a while and resume by themselves, or on the date they chose
• Add a one-time product to the next order, update the card, restart a cancelled subscription

Front-load the first orders so people stay for the third.

Most subscribers who leave do it around the second or third order. A journey gives them a reason to get there: an introductory price on the first order, a free gift at checkout, free shipping on order two, a discount on order three. You set it up once; Bonde applies each perk to the right order and shows customers what is coming.

• Introductory pricing on any plan: a bigger discount for the first order or first few orders, then the ongoing discount
• A free gift the customer claims in the cart when they add a subscription
• Discounts, free shipping or a free product on the renewal you choose, applied before the order is charged
• The timeline shows in the subscribe box, in the customer's account and in the upcoming-order email
• Store credit from Bonde Loyalty appears on the same timeline, so you see the whole experience in one place

Declined cards get retried, not forgotten.

When a renewal charge is declined, Bonde emails the customer a link to update their card and retries the charge on a schedule you set, 3, 7, 14 and 21 days after the failure by default. After the last attempt the subscription is paused until the card is updated, or cancelled if you prefer.

• A card-declined email from your own domain, linking to the payment update
• Your own retry schedule and number of attempts, then pause or cancel
• Failures a retry can't fix, like a revoked card, aren't retried
• A daily check catches any renewal that didn't run

No email domain set up yet? Shopify sends its own update-payment email instead.

Reward subscribers for staying subscribed.

Bonde Loyalty pays store credit when someone subscribes and again on every renewal, as a fixed amount or a percentage of the order. It's native Shopify store credit, so customers see their balance in their account and spend it at checkout.

• Credit for starting a subscription, and a bonus on a milestone renewal
• Credit on every renewal, fixed or a percentage; win-back credit for a subscriber who comes back
• Spend it on renewals: the balance is applied to the next charge automatically
• Milestone credit shows on the subscription journey timeline, next to the gifts and discounts, so you see the whole experience in one place
• Limit it to products or collections, with expiry dates and caps, plus an email each time a customer earns

See how your subscriptions are doing.

Subscription analytics in your Shopify admin: recurring revenue, upcoming orders, payment errors, what customers changed, churn and cohorts. Every contract has a timeline of what changed and who changed it.

• Monthly recurring revenue, active subscriptions and churn
• Cohort retention by signup month, and retention by order: how many subscribers reach order 2, 3, 4, with and without a journey
• A timeline on each contract showing whether you or the customer made each change
• Swap products, move dates, change frequency, pause or cancel any contract, or many at once
• Replace a discontinued product in every subscription that has it
